Hey all:
I just bit the bullet and ordered a couple of GT313s from mother Russia. 3 will go into a Toecutter, and I think 3 more have Buzzaround written all over it. They're specified at 20-200hFE.
For those of you with GT313 experience, do they follow any trends gain-wise, or are they completely random, as most Ge transistors are?
I only bought 10, so I want to make the most out of what I've got. Thanks!
